Quote HistoryQuoted: So true. When my son died, his best friend in Peru received a strange phone call that he believes was from my son within about an hour after Matt was gone. He told me about it, but at the time my mind was so fried I don't remember the details. My son has been back, once when his sister was in Oklahoma and he has been back to my house in Key West as well as the new one in Lakeland Highlands. There have been two instances of physical "events" (items being moved) that we are sure were him. He is not around so much now, but my grandkids (not his children, he had none) have been spitting babies out over the last two years, so he may be back. If so,I hope he remembers so we can say hi. I've posted about it before but one of my grandsons when he was about four or so told me about he had died before when his dad was his brother. I believed him. Quote HistoryQuoted: So true.

You might enjoy listening to Dr Brian Weiss. A lot of people laugh and think you are wacko, but if you have ever had an unexplained event, seen a UFO, or whatever, you will never laugh at the "wackos" again. Can you imagine trying to explain to a colonial settler about getting invisible beams from space that will let you communicate real-time with someone on the other side of the world? You'd have been burned at the stake as a witch. As the Multiverse/Simulation ideas become more mainstream, it's not lost on me that those ideas could be considered very similar to the "soul is the real you, the body is just temporary" ideas. I'm smart enough to know I don't know what I don't know... |

My condolences for the loss of your father.
Also, there's a creepy Twilight Zone episode from the 60's that covers this sort of thing.  The Twilight Zone - Night Call |

Quoted: My mom's phone has received two missed calls from my dad's phone since he died last April. She has kept his phone active in case any old friends or businesses call that didn't know he passed. It is usually in their office on a charger. She was going through the call history on her phone the other day and found two missed calls from his phone. One a few weeks ago when she was having an especially hard time with his loss, and one on her birthday. She checked his phone and found that there were in fact calls placed from his phone at those times. She lives by herself and does not have visitors besides me. There is no logical explanation that I can think of. Number spoofing by telemarketing to get her to answer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: while I’m not inclined to believe supernatural events in general, after my mom died roughly 3 months later I had a vivid dream where we bumped into to each other in a crowded stadium and she quickly thanked me for all the help I gave her at the end of her life and quickly vanished in the swirl of the crowd that dream shook my world, woke up crying, got emotional in the retelling to others. now it could be just a dream in a grieving sons mind but I swear it was her thanking me from somewhere I have had two very vivid dreams about people who have passed, one my mother and one a man who was like a father to me. the dreams were a comfort to me & I`ve written about them in the Creepy thread. I know it may be my own grief, but I also know it might have each been a visit to comfort me. no phone calls tho. |

Agreed, there's a lot we still don't understand.
After losing mom years ago, I had a very vivid dream of her, maybe a week later. It felt like I was having a conversation in real time. A few days later, my cousin called and related a very similar experience. As an RN with the VA, I have taken care of older vets who, before passing away, would claim that family members had visited them in the nights and days before their passing. Is it all neural type stuff? Maybe, but I like to believe that there's more to it than that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Damn. That gives me chills. Sorry for your loss. It is appointed that human beings die once, and after this the judgment” (Heb 9:27). so, i dont know who it is, but its not your family.... in my mind its gotta be an evil entity adding confusion to the mix.. and in the story of lazarus and hte rich man, it says "theres a great gulf between us" meanig you cant get there anyways.... so that kinda implies it cant happen, so its something or sowmeone else... not sure who.. luke 16:26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ 27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ 30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” its interesting, i dont have an answer for it, and i dont know who would steer ya right, buuuuuuut, in these examples it doesnt apear that folks get t o go haunt folsk.... just my version, with those scriptures to go by |

At 3 he wanted me to play GTA because he likes the all black SWAT outfit I have for my character. I did a maneuver with a motorcycle and said "look I did a loop de loop!" because I didn't think he'd understand what a barrel roll was. He matter of factly tells me "Dat not a loop de loop." I was like "what's a loop de loop then if you're so damn smart?" He took his hand and did a perfect went to Top Gun school move and said "a loop de loop like dis".

On the morning that my dad died, I was heading out to work. I made it out to the main road on a clear morning, still mostly dark. At the bottom of the hill there was a small wispy cloud thing in the middle of the road. I felt really weird about it.
A few minutes later my brother called to tell me my dad had just passed. |

Could have happened. I received three calls from my mother’s phone and it was turned off. Happened about four months after her passing when I was trying to decide about sell the house and moving.
My phone voice mail box has a transcript function and each call left a message on my phone. Played them back and heard nothing but the transcripts had “yes” in the message box. |

The strangest phone event I heard of was in 1987 when an Air Force A-7 lost its engine, tried to land at Indianapolis International but wasn’t going to make it. The pilot ejected and the aircraft slammed into the Airport Ramada Inn. The young bell hop phoned his mom from the pay phone in the lobby—10 minutes after the aircraft hit squarely in the lobby. He told her he was ok and would be home soon. Obviously he couldn’t have made the call. The phone company verified the number of the pay phone and the time of the call. Weird.

I've experienced this phenomenon. I don't think the dead go far, and I think the veil is pretty thin for those not in denial about it.
One person who talks about this a lot is psychic medium Laura Lynn Jackson. "Phantom Phone Calls" as they are called are apparently not uncommon: https://www.liveabout.com/phantom-phone-call-stories-2593179 |
